Question

Why carbon does not form ionic compound ????

Answer 1

because it has tetra valency.... in that situation it can neither give or take 4 electrons to attain octate state.....

therefore it shares its electrons thus forming covalent bond....!!

Answer 2

Ques. → Why doesn't carbon form ionic compounds ?

Ans.→ Firstly let's know that what's an ionic compound :

$<b> Ionic Compounds :- </b>$ these are the compounds that are formed by either gaining or losing electrons !

→ Carbon has a valency of four . Thus , it can neither gain 4 electrons nor loose 4 electrons . Therefore , it doesn't form ionic bond. Instead it forms a $<b> Covalent Bond </b>$ that is formed by the sharing of electrons !!
